Finds Efficiencies, Savings Via Leading-Edge Air Filtration from Camfil

Compared to Bottler’s Previous Filters, Camfil’s Clean Air Solution Improved Performance While Saving More Than $43,000 a Year

Riverdale, NJ – When it comes to clean air in the work environment, all companies have the same goal: to get top performance in air filtration while maximizing cost efficiency. But in the food and beverage industry, that mandate – and the challenge in meeting it – is heightened still, as contaminants that get into a manufacturer’s product can harm its customers, sales, and reputation. These companies don’t just need a good clean air solution, but an optimal one – and at an optimal cost.

For one major bottled water producer – an industry leader with production facilities in more than 35 countries – that optimal solution had long proved elusive. Filters needed to be changed frequently to avoid product contamination and bottling line flow problems. And with those frequent change outs came significant material, labor, and disposal costs. The problem was that the pleated and final filters the company used were failing prematurely and gaining resistance – leading to contamination and production loss – at an unacceptably high rate.

Realizing that its existing system was simply not tenable, the company knew it had to take a different approach. So it called in Camfil – the world’s leading provider of clean air solutions. Working with the bottler, Camfil was able to guide a transition to a leading-edge solution that would reduce air filter life cycle costs while improving performance.

Indeed, developing clean air solutions that maximize both efficiency and savings has long been Camfil’s own mandate – and one it meets through a unique network of a half dozen global research centers. Camfil air filters are designed to maintain their peak efficiency far longer than more traditionally designed filters, which means the total cost of ownership can be dramatically reduced – even as the air filters do a better job of removing harmful particles from the air.

In the bottler’s case, Camfil’s air filtration experts recommended simple modifications to the company’s filter housings, which would allow the use of 2-inch prefilters and 12-inch box-style filters (as opposed to the previous configuration of 4-inch pleated prefilters and 4-inch final filters). Camfil then tested two different filter combinations, finding that the best results – based on criteria including contaminant removal efficiency, contaminant holding capacity, and resistance to airflow — came with the use of Camfil’s 2-inch FARR 30/30 and 12-inch Durafil ES. This combination also significantly outlasted the bottler’s existing solution – which meant significant cost savings.

Indeed, by switching to the Camfil air filters, the bottler was able to reduce its annual total filter consumption from 1,920 air filters to just 360. Meanwhile, the greater efficiency of the new filters meant less energy was required. In total, the material, maintenance, and energy savings amounted to more than $43,000 a year – achieved while performance – of the air filters and the production line, as well — increased.

Better results, better savings: The bottler’s new clean air solution wasn’t just a win, but a win on multiple fronts.

Health Care Facilities Can Save 30% in HVAC Energy Spend

Clean Air Solution by Camfil USA. Leader in Air Filters for Commercial and Industrial applications.


Camfil Offers Comprehensive Air Filter Sustainability Program…at No Charge


Reduce air filter replacement spend, operating and administrative costs for your health care facility with Camfil’s Circle of Success program.


Offered as a FREE service to healthcare facilities – this six-module program ensures the long-term success of your hospitals’ air filter management program…promising significant cost-savings in energy, labor and waste year after year.


Here are the benefits:



  1. Data Gathering: the program begins by gathering specific data points to determine how your existing air handling system is working. Usage and purchase process is also analyzed.

  2. Site-Survey: Captured in Camfil’s exclusive desktop or mobile-friendly electronic form, each air handling unit’s performance is verified by studying your system’s airflow, velocity, and particle loading creating a customized database for your facility.

  3. LCC Reporting: Information is collected and analyzed with the proprietary LCC (Life Cycle Costing) software, which calculates the energy consumption, installation cost, filter life, waste disposal, indoor air quality and optimum change sequence, assessing the true cost of your filter program. It helps determine the best filter for each air handler on site.

  4. LCC Modeling: The collected data and filter recommendations are used to perform a real-world model simulation. It provides an A/B performance comparison of your current products against the future performance using Camfil products based on your specific energy rates, labor costs and operating hours.

  5. Performance Verification: Once proposed Camfil products are installed, Camfil validates that the LCC model simulation is accurate. We ensure the performance we promised is exactly the performance you get.

  6. Premium Products: Camfil’s specialty testing devices and software allow us to document your system’s every performance. Following ASHRAE standards, we demonstrate with solid qualitative data to you and your administration that doing business with Camfil is the right choice.


Camfil USA stands behind their word, which is why Camfil premium products are GUARANTEED to outperform all other manufacturer’s air filters.
